Description

We currently offer to Library graduate students an online subject cataloging internships. These are unpaid internships for credits on the title page of Bilindex Online.

This is how the system works in a nutshell: We send you by e-mail a number of subject headings with the specifications for their translation into Spanish. The subject headings need to be searched online in LC Authority Files with their respective syndetic apparatus and translated into Spanish. The Spanish must meet standard and prevalent regional lexical variants. The authority work done by the intern is returned by e-mail to the Bilindex Team which will review it until it is accepted for publication. The subject authority work needs to be carried out within an agreed period of time (generally two or three months). The subject headings are submitted for publication with the name of the intern as author and contributor to that Bilindex version. Bilindex is periodically updated. The interns get credit and a portfolio with recognition of their work and contribution to subject access development.

Interns not only gain exposure for their bilingual subject access development work, but receive added benefits as well, such as being listed as a Spanish-English bilingual subject cataloger with all our affiliated institutions, such public and university libraries, and all our associated websites.
